We all recognize the feeling: you’ve been with your partner for a while and committed to consistent date nights. However, there are only so many nice restaurants near you. Let’s admit it — dinner dates are overdone! It is time for something new. Don’t worry! There are many ways to elevate date night for you and your partner!

According to Connect Again, experts say couples should go on at least three dates every three months. Whether it’s one a month or you knock all three dates out in a few weeks, having quality time together is essential for the health of your relationship. Although family outings are fun, date nights are just for you and your boo!

With that in mind, it’s time to shake things up in the date activity department. Here are five ways to elevate date night. Bookmark this article or send it to your love, so you can start planning your next set of dates! 

1. Glamping

Glamping is a great option to get away for a night or two! Airbnb and many campsites offer glamping options, meaning you won’t have to go far. Plus, the mini-road trip can add to the thrill.

If camping is not your thing, this is a perfect idea! You will still have a bed and amenities to make you feel right at home. The isolation is an excellent opportunity to focus on your partner and possibly rekindle the flame.

2. Escape Rooms

Usually seen as a group activity, escape rooms could be a fantastic opportunity for you and your partner to connect. Escape rooms require both of you to use problem-solving skills and collaboration. This date allows you to work together to deepen your connection further. Additionally, it is a great memory to look back on later.

3. Cooking Classes

For couples who love to cook together, consider taking a cooking class. A quick Google search will show you classes in your area and allow you to reserve a spot online. If you are just a beginner, that’s OK! Most cooking classes offer various levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Not only do you get to spend time with your boo, you also get a great meal!

4. Staycation

Consider a staycation if you want low-key ways to elevate date night! When was the last time you and your partner stayed home and did nothing all day? If it has been a while, this is the perfect date night option. Plan a few at-home activities, like board games, movies, or cooking.

These are just a few ways to elevate date night, but every couple has several options. If you are an active couple, consider hiking. If you are a wine lover, schedule a wine tasting! Whatever you do, make sure it’s fun and something that will help you bond.

5. Couple Massages

For couples with kids or demanding jobs, relaxing with your partner might be one of the best ways to elevate date night. Sometimes, date night can be more stressful than it can be — from picking out an outfit, doing your hair, applying your makeup, making a reservation, and leaving the house on time.

Make things a little easier and schedule some massages or spa treatments. Although massages don’t allow for a lot of talking or bonding, just being next to your partner in a relaxing environment can spark sex-free intimacy.
